He decided to become a tailor because he was worried he wouldn't be able to support himself in life

He said: “When I was young almost every school denied me admission because of my disability. The teachers refused to admit me into the school.

“I was disappointed and thought that I will show them by achieving something.

"My family couldn’t afford to educate me, and I thought that the government wouldn’t help me either. So I’ll have to do something to survive in this life." And so, at the age of 23, Madan decided to take up tailoring, but found it very difficult to get any training.

A year after taking up tailoring Madan became a professional tailor in Haryana

“I said, ‘Just give me one chance’. He said okay and within 10 to 15 days my teacher started saying, ‘You will become successful.’ And I became very happy.”

Within a year, proud Madan had learned the art of tailoring and had opened a shop in his village. The impact on his life was immediate.He said: “That day I forgot all the sufferings. It was the best day of my life. I saw people coming to my shop to greet me. The whole village was happy, as if they were part of my family.”

But some potential customers were still initially dismissive of the idea of a man with no arms being able to stitch.
